Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha (adjust for desired spice)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
  • Extra green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and gochujang in a large bowl. Mix everything until just combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into meatballs, around 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
  3. Heat a skillet with oil over medium-high heat. Sear the meatballs on all sides until browned, roughly 3-5 minutes.
  4. Transfer the browned meatballs into a baking dish.
  5. Mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and a bit more gochujang in a separate bowl. Pour this glaze over the meatballs in the baking dish.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked and caramelized.
  7. Mix mayonnaise and sriracha in another bowl to taste, adjusting for desired spice.
  8. Serve the meatballs with the spicy mayo dip, garnished with sesame seeds and additional chopped green onions.

Notes

Chill formed meatballs in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before cooking for enhanced flavor. Adjust sriracha for spice preference.
